Website Building Software

When you come to that point in your business journey where a professional website is an absolute necessity, one thing you cannot do is leave anything to chance. You need a top quality site that will provide your business with the online impact it needs to grow to the next level.

There are many options available to you in this area that can provide a solution for your needs. However one major factor that will govern your final decision is almost always going to be cost. There are a few questions you will need to have the answers to:

Does your budget support the cost of hiring a team of professional site builders?

Are you looking to develop your website in-house or engage the services of an external company?

Do you or your staff have the skills necessary to create a stunning website that will sell your business online?

The answers you come up with will determine your course of action with regards website development and build. But there is another solution you might wish to pursue that can certainly stay well within budget and provide you with the kind of website your competitors will be green with envy over.

You could actually build your own site using propriety software provided by a reliable company such as websitebuilder.com and this is a company we recommend you take a closer look at by clicking their advertisement image above. It might be just what you're looking for!

Usability & Accessibility Working Group

The Group was formed by the Association primarily to turn a BWDMA concept for an accessibility accreditation into practical reality. The Group is inclusive by nature and has attracted contributions and support from both stakeholders and rights-holders across the digital economy with support from various countries around the world. We are grateful for the support and encouragement of both Microsoft (MSN) and KPMG.

This newly formed working group is focused upon creating initiatives to support better usability and accessibility.

Contribute to Raising Industry Standards

Amongst the 23 rights holders and stakeholders that have joined the UA-WG, BWDMA welcome the first organisation from America to join. The International Center for Disability Resources on the Internet (ICDRI) is the home of the accessibility testing facility Cynthia Says. We welcome Cynthia Waddell and look forward to practical collaboration.
